They're after my time, and as far as I know I've only ever heard one of their songs. Which is frankly kind of catchy.
But comparing any disliked band to Nickelback seems to be the ultimate musical insult, and any time they are mentioned people seem to pile on like the crowd that wanted to burn the witch in Holy Grail.
What did they do? Does everybody hate their music that much? Are they dicks to their fans?
I need somebody not musically stuck in the decade between '75 and '85 to enlighten me. [Reply]

agree.
I still like Megadeth; I think the guitars and the collective are enough for me to tolerate Daves voice lol. Especially the Menza/Efflson (Sp?)/Friedman days. [Reply]

Gojira is solid! And no, I don't like that Death Punch crap. It's sooooo generic. [Reply]

I took my old man to see Megadeth open for Iron Maiden for his 50th. Dave and co. absolutely killed it - like, album quality perfect. Maiden was Maiden course. :-) [Reply]

I think we've chatted briefly about Porcupine Tree and Gavin Harrison (or maybe Steven Wilson). Anesthetize is a true masterpiece. I'd kill to see that shit live. Would have killed, rather :-) [Reply]

Another (probably) controversial opinion - Iron Maiden's first two albums were brilliant and I don't really care for anything after, though Number of the Beast is the most tolerable.

You aren't wrong. I like Megadeth in spite of Dave's vocals, and can only do so much at a time because of his vocals. [Reply]

I can probably top that...
The best 2 Black Sabbath albums are Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules. [Reply]
Just because the dude may not like something doesn't mean it is bad. I don't like The Beatles - I recognize their talent and the importance of their work, but I still don't like it. Doesn't mean they suck.
they are country music for people who can't admit they like country music, their songs are just new country with distorted guitars and grittier vocals. [Reply]

You don't know what you don't know, sir.
Lateralus is probably my most played album, I love every song on that one. I also feel the same way about Jar of Flies and Dirt from Alice in Chains, that's about 75% of what I listen to. People can hate on "grunge" all they want, but Alice in Chains speaks to me. [Reply]
